melcharI feel 2 sensations right now. My cracked tooth experience & the pain associated with it is Lovecraftian horror.
However the attentive care of my dentist was wonderful - got me in at 7:50am - before they officially opened & X-ray'd the tooth. It was a very old crown [25+ years] that cracked off at the gum line. ...And they referred me to the dental surgeon 2 miles away who also got me in immediately - the tooth out & a screw inserted, since the jaw bone is sound. After healing - on June 5 - an implant will be set in place. I was finished by 10am!!
I am in rather a lot of pain now, with soft-tissue swelling in the area - but the tooth/root/jaw is only mildly uncomfortable. But 100% love ❤️ for both dentist & oral surgeon.
